Ⅱ.七选五

根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。

How to Improve Vocabulary Fast

Your vocabulary refers to the words in a language you are familiar with.We should learn some ways to expand it.

Read every day.__1.D__Choose reading material that is slightly above your level and keep a dictionary with you to look up words you do not know.

__2.A__If you do not meet with an unfamiliar word in your daily reading，use your dictionary to search for one.

Learn the correct definition and pronunciation for each new word.Pronunciation is as important as definition because in order to add a word to your active vocabulary，you must be able to use it in a speech.

Elaborate (详尽阐述) on the meaning of the word.If you have just learned the word “stubborn”，think about the neighbor who will not lend you his car.__3.G__

Use your new word in speech and in writing.E－mail your sister about how your cat is stubborn about sleeping on your pillow.__4.F__But the more you use it，the more fluent you will become in its use.Soon it will be a regular part of your active vocabulary.

Tell everyone you are trying to increase your vocabulary.Encourage them to ask you what your latest word is.__5.E__The more you explain the meaning of a word to someone，the more likely you are to remember it.

文章大意：这是一篇议论文。文章对于如何增加词汇给出了几条建议。

2．下文“If you do not meet with an unfamiliar word in your daily reading，use your dictionary to search for one.”说如果你在日常阅读中没有遇到一个不熟悉的单词，用你的字典找一个。该空引出下文。A选项“每天找一个新单词。”切题。故选A。

3．上文提到“Elaborate(详尽阐述) on the meaning of the word.If you have just learned the word ’stubborn’，think about the neighbor who will not lend you his car.”(详细说明这个词的意思。如果你刚刚学会了“固执”这个词，想想那些不愿把车借给你的邻居吧)。该空承接上文，G选项“想象一下他摇着头固执地拒绝。”切题。故选G。

4．下文提到“But the more you use it，the more fluent you will become in its use.Soon it will be a regular part of your active vocabulary.”(但是你用得越多，你就会用得越流利。很快，它就会成为你日常词汇的一部分)。该空引出下文，F选项“当你第一次在演讲中使用一个新词时，可能看起来很奇怪。”切题。故选F。

5．上文提到“Encourage them to ask you what your latest word is.”(鼓励他们问你学的最新的词汇是什么)。下文提到“The more you explain the meaning of a word to someone，the more likely you are to remember it.”(你向别人解释一个单词的意思越多，你就越有可能记住它)。该空承上启下，E选项“或者让他们问你用过的新单词的定义。”切题。故选E。

Ⅲ.完形填空

I never felt an urge to __2.C__ any sign language before.My entire family is hearing, and so are all my friends.The __3.D__ languages were enough in all my interactions (交往)．Little did I know that I would discover my __4.A__ for ASL.

The story began during my first week at college.I watched as the ASL Club __5.B__ their translation of a song.Both the hand movements and the very idea of communicating without speaking __6.D__ me.What I saw was completely unlike anything I had experienced in the past.This newness just left me __7.D__ more.

After that, feeling the need to __8.B__ further, I decided to drop in on one of ASL Club’s meetings. I only learned how to __9.C__ the alphabet that day.Yet instead of being discouraged by my __10.A__ progress, I was excited.I then made it a point to __11.C__ those meetings and learn all I could.

The following term, I __12.D__ an ASL class.The professor was deaf and any talking was __13.A__.I soon realized that the silence was not unpleasant.Instead, if there had been any talking, it would have __14.B__ us to learn less.Now, I appreciate the silence and the __15.D__ way of communication it opens.

2．A．choose B．read

C．learn D．create

4．A．love B．concern

C．goal D．request

解析：根据下文可知，作者接触到手语后，被它吸引，开始学习手语。所以此处应该是作者发现了自己对手语的热爱。故选A项。

5．A．recorded B．performed

6．A．disturbed B．supported

C．embarrassed D．attracted

解析：下文提到，作者看到的和他过去经历的完全不同。由此可知，作者被手语的动作和无声交流的想法所吸引，所以选D项。disturb“打扰”；support“支持”；embarrass“使困窘”。

C．sign D．count

解析：作者那一天只学会了用手语表示字母表。print“印刷”；write“写”；sign“用手势表达”；count“数”。只有sign符合语境。故选C项。

10．A．slow B．steady

C．normal D．obvious

解析：根据上文的“only”可知，此处应该填“slow”，表示“进步很慢”。故选A项。

Lion dance is a form of __1.traditional__(tradition)dance in China，__2.which__ can be often seen in important festivals and great events.China is home __3.to__ the Dragon Dance and Lion Dance.The two performances __4.have been welcomed__(welcome)by people from various ethnic groups for generations.It is said __5.that__ the lion dance in China originated in the Southern and Northern Dynasties with __6.a__ history of more than one thousand years.The lions stand for joy and __7.happiness__(happy)．Therefore，during festivals and grand ceremonies，people would perform lion dance to create a happy and __8.exciting__(excite)atmosphere.Many young people know that the dragon dance and the lion dance are performed during festivals such as Spring Festival，Spring Festival fairs and celebrations.But they don’t know that after several thousand years the two activities have accumulated thick historical cultures and are __9.extremely__(extreme)valuable cultural heritages __10.handed__(hand)down from Chinese people’s ancestors.

文章大意：这是一篇说明文。本文讲述了舞狮是中国传统舞蹈的一种形式，在重要的节日和重大活动中经常可以看到。

解析：

1．考查形容词。dance为名词，需用形容词修饰。故填traditional。

2．考查非限制性定语从句。先行词Lion dance为物，非限制性定语从句中缺少主语。故用which引导。

3．考查介词。固定短语be home to“是……的故乡”。故填to。

4．考查时态和语态。句子主语和welcome之间是被动关系，所以用被动语态，指从过去一直到现在，所以用现在完成时态。故填have been welcomed。

5．考查固定句型。固定句型It is said that...“据说……”，故填that。

6．考查冠词。句意：……起源于有一千多年历史的南北朝。泛指一段历史，用不定冠词。故填a。

7．考查名词。句意：狮子代表快乐和幸福。此处与joy并列作介词for的宾语，所以用名词。故填happiness。

8．考查形容词。atmosphere，名词，需用形容词修饰，表示“令人兴奋的”，故填exciting。

9．考查副词。句意：这两项活动积累了深厚的历史文化底蕴，是极为宝贵的文化遗产。valuable形容词，需用副词修饰。故填extremely。

10．考查非谓语动词。本句已经存在谓语动词且句中没有连词，故hand只能做非谓语，和逻辑主语heritages之间是被动关系，所以用过去分词。故填handed。
